Wedding fish and chip van for Bekesbourne events
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Bekesbourne
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s typically somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Typical bookings include vow renewals and anniversaries and wedding after-parties, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Bekesbourne, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Common questions in Bekesbourne
Which station is closest to Bekesbourne?
The closest is Bekesbourne station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Is Bekesbourne too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
